On here I will endeavour to put the weekly spelling list on and below I have put a list of ideas of things that you could do with your spelling words to help you practise them at home.
Spelling Activities: 1. ABC order - write your words in alphabetical order. 2. Reversed words - write your words in ABC order backwards. 3. Rainbow words - use three different colours to write your words 4. Cheer your words - pretend you are a cheerleader and cheer out your words and spell them too, to an adult. 5. Backwards words - write your words forwards and then backwards 6. Silly sentences - use all of your words in sentences, can you write more than one of your words in the same sentence? 7. Pyramid words - write your words adding one letter at a time - the result will be a pyramid shape of words, e.g. star s st sta star 8. Disappearing words - write each word, then write it again but leave one letter out, then write it again and leave two letters out, and then three until your word has disappeared 9. Computer fun - use your computer to type your words, use different fonts and make it look really interesting, if you can print it out to show the class. You could email the words to me at morgan@wakaaranga.school.nz and we could share them on the data projector. 10. Air words - use your finger to write each word in the air. Have a parent do the same. See if you can figure out their word.

Remember the big level test is on Friday, be prepared. Learn all your words, especially the tricky ones. I am hoping that all the level 2 children will go to level 3 and all the level 5 children will go to level 6.
